} Is there are mechanism in zsh which will allow the rm -r to start off in
} confirm mode ie "do you want to delete this file" and then choose "all"??
unalias lrm
function lrm {
setopt localoptions glob_dots no_rm_star_silent
cd .. || return
rm -rf $OLDPWD/* && rmdir $OLDPWD
[[ ! -d $OLDPWD ]] || { cd $OLDPWD && return 1 }
}
I rigged it so that if you say "no" you don't even change directories.
You could even throw rm_start_wait onto the end of the setopt if you
are extra-paranoid.
Unfortunately saying "no" doesn't cause "rm" to return a failure status,
so the "rmdir" is attempted either way.
Aside to zsh-workers: It'd be nice if I didn't have to setopt glob_dots
there, but
rm -rf $OLDPWD/*(D)
does not trigger rm_star handling because "*(D)" != "*". That seems a
bad thing.
